Rags to Riches Teen werewolves was my most played gameplay, until I started rags to riches child alone scenarios cheating in the Father Winter baby and cold acclimation traits, and choosing the erratic trait. The erratic trait is great for kids, okay for teens, but I don't like playing it for adults at all. The dormant werewolf traits completely overpowered the child erratic trait, but I wonder what happens with an erratic teen or adult werewolf.

I always quickly build a 4x4 home so that I could take advantage of the tiny lot traits advantage. I would quickly earn enough money to spend days in vacation homes to take a real bath and do some baking. But you want challenge, not tips to make it easier.

I will be following this thread. Thanks for starting it. Long story that is too offtopic for this thread, but I unexpectedly got forced from Sims 3 back to Sims 4 at least for the short-term and I am BORED. I think I need to go back to my default game style of a teen werewolf, but with a new twist. Extra challenge sounds perfect.

So you also played a teen werewolf rags to riches. :) nice. I am not going for a child alone. I would feel sorry for them without a parent. But to each their own. My teen doesn't have the erratic trait. I rarely use that one. Emma is a dog lover and animal lover. So she will get a dog soon. I never played with a dog despite owning the cats and dogs pack for years so that should be fun.

I want to make it a bit challenging so I am not going for a tiny house. On the contrary, I might turn the lot into a haunted house lot. I will wait until there is actually a house (or at least one room) to be haunted. Besides Emma has a skill bonus from being a top notch toddler and a scout so that is enough advantages.

I am wondering if playing a werewolf makes the challenge easier or harder. The rampaging is definitely a challenge but on the other hand some perks make the challenge super easy. My sim can fill hunger by hunting, bladder by marking territory and hygiene with the personal grooming perk. All 3 are low tier perks as well.

As for the earthquake lot challenge, it has very little impact on gameplay. It is alright. I just don't like to watch my screen shake. It is more of a nuisance to me as player than it is to my sims.

Since I tried playing rags to riches I can't seem to start a save normally now :). My last main save was when Cottage Living came out. It was a rags to riches, with off the grid and simple living lot challenges. Before that I had another save where an elemental had twins with Father Winter, one of whom aspired to become a spellcaster while the other one joined the military. Later on the twins joined up again, along with Father Winter, to tackle the challenge in Stangerville. Both were pretty fun saves.
I have just began a new save that I'm quite excited about. It's a spellcaster rags to riches save. I haven't figured out all the later details yet, but to make it a bit different, as part of her training my spellcaster would be required to travel and seek out magic/occult in other worlds and bring back a specific item from each place. I had to think what would be a suitable way for her to make money as she travels so I have settled on busking for now, and perhaps selling collectibles she finds on her journey.

That sounds like an interesting and long rags to riches. I haven't really done much with the father winter trait yet.

I like your spellcaster story. I think I might incorporate this into my game as well, in this story or the next one. Visiting all worlds and bring a collectible home from each world sounds like fun.

I'm missing some vital packs for what I'd like to do with this occult save, such as the werewolf and paranormal packs. It may be a bit of a stretch, but I think I should be able to come up with enough places for my spellcaster to travel to that would qualify as supernatural.
